The Northern YA Literary Festival

On the 24th March 2018 the University of Central Lancashire BA in Publishing is proud to have hosted the first ever Northern YA Literary Festival. We were thrilled to work so closely with Waterstones Preston and Lancashire Libraries on what was a fantastic event. We’re passionate about the publishing industry, books and bringing authors to the North of England.

Fans got the unique opportunity to delve into the publishing industry, and to meet critically acclaimed and international best selling authors.

Our inaugural festival was a great success with a line-up including Man Booker-shortlisted author Deborah Levy, journalist Martin Bell, psychogeographer Iain Sinclair and performance poet John Hegley, We hope you will join us again in February 2019.

YA Fest is a young adult book festival held at Chadwell Heath Community Centre, a registered charity, home to Robert Jeyes Library. We here at CHCC love YA literature and want to spread that love by holding a festival. It promises to be lots of fun!

Festival enthusiast Ann Landmann and Noel Chidwick, were having a cup of tea and lamenting the lack of genre authors in book festivals programmes. So why not set up our own book festival?, they asked each other.

We hope to see you in June 2019!
